camera body

It is a quarter plate (3.25in x 4.25 in) field camera made by J.T. Chapman of Manchester, mahogany with brass trim and fastenings. It has rack and pinion focussing. The model is called the "British".

The camera lens moves back and forwards to adjust the focus of the lens which, when it is collapsed back into the body of the camera and the lens unscrewed, means the camera can fold right down into a box shape. Unfortunately, the bellows are slightly damaged, and the brass lens needs to be unstuck somehow before we can get it to fold down completely.

I think it may be possible to use it still, I would certainly like to try at any rate. But I will have to learn much more about these cameras before I can attempt it!

Large Format Camera

Shot with a Nikkormat FTn with a Nikkor O 35/2 lens with Fuji Superia 400 film rated at 200 ISO.

Here's what I found from my night photography workshop. C-41/Colour negative film is wildly optimistic when it comes to the ISO speed. If you want finer grain and nicer colour over expose up to a stop. This is the resutls of the experiment. Thoughts?
